Story
Carrie (aka Bullit) is a beautiful 2-1/2 year old female American Bulldog mix who was surrendered by her family on January 3, 2026. Carrie has a tan short smooth coat with a large white bib on her chest, rather short legs with white paws on her front bowed legs, a long tail, and an adorable tan/white face with brown 'teddy bear' eyes, a milk chocolate/blue nose, and short semi-erect ears. Her family told us that Carrie is very affectionate and loves attention. She does best with women and tends to be protective of her 'person' .. But Carrie is not protective of her food. Carrie has been kept indoors and is housetrained. Carrie is selective about which dogs she accepts into her circle of friends. Carrie is frightened of thunder/loud noises.. And she sees an open door as an opportunity to take an adventurous run. Carrie weighs approximately 40-45 lbs. She is great on a leash and loves to take walks. This little beauty may look familiar to many of our HSOV Volunteers/Facebook fans since Carrie originally came to our shelter in early October 2024 after she had been in the Little Hocking Ohio area for at least a month and was befriended by several compassionate individuals who were very worried about her safety. Those kind ladies banded together to keep her safe (and to make sure she had food/water) .. with the end goal of gaining her trust and letting them rescue her. She was nearly apprehended several times but was a bit too wary/cautious and would quickly go into flight mode. But those ladies were very patient (and determined) to take her into 'custody' but also used good common sense/judgment. The Good Samaritans who had admired Carrie from afar were eventually able to get close to her (thanks to their own dogs whom Carrie befriended) and were gradually able to pet her. They reported that Carrie absolutely loved other dogs as well as children ... And neighbors who had kept an eye out for sightings of Carrie reported that she appeared to be ok with cats and never made any attempt to chase/harm them. As might be expected, Carrie is an escape artist who can easily find a way to slip away from a fenced-in backyard. Their patience paid off and one of the Good Samaritans was able to persuade this little waif into jumping in her car on October 3rd (with the assistance of her dog who made friends with Carrie and must have signaled that she was safe with them). Contact was made with the Sheriff's Department who provided transport to our shelter where our HSOV Kennel Techs continued to give her the care and love that she deserved. These photos of Carrie were taken on the afternoon on October 4, 2024 when HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver accompanied her for outdoor photos. This little sweetheart had a super-sweet disposition and loved attention more than anything else in the world. Carrie weighs 41 lbs but doesn't have the appearance of a very large dog when you see her in person. She is rather short and full-figured (meant in the most complimentary way since she is simply perfect). She doesn't appear to have had any leash training but with a little encouragement from Emily Beaver, Carrie had the courage to walk outdoors for her photo session. She was reluctant to walk back to the shelter on a leash, but she was very happy to be carried back indoor Emily's arms like a very big baby. If you look closely at several of those pictures, Carrie was giving Emily some terrific 'puppy kisses'. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Carrie was held for three days so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. Since Carrie was not reclaimed, she went home with a foster family on October 7, 2024. Carrie was spayed on October 17, 2024, and she was officially adopted by her foster family on November 18, 2024. We look forward to taking updated photos Carrie as weather permits ... But we wanted to share her previous pictures and background story asap so that potential adopters would know that Carrie (aka Bullit) is in our shelter and is looking for another great home. Her family was very sad to have to return Carrie and has sponsored her adoption fee in hopes that she will quickly find another loving home.

Bruno is a sweet dog who loves to play with my 11-year-old son and the other dogs in the neighborhood. He coexist in the home with a cat whom he likes to try to play with and she doesn’t really care for that but he does not hurt her. He is potty trained and loves his chew toys. He comes when called and does not run off far off of a leash. Bruno comes with a training collar, a large crate lots of toys. No adoption fee wanted just want a nice home for him. My home was sold and purchased by another leasing company and they are no longer allowing for pets.
